Dr Anne Jacobs

Clinical Psychologist

Dr Anne Jacobs says: “Seeing me does not mean your illness is psychological or “all in your head”. You are experiencing a real physical health problem. However, physical illness can understandably have a very real impact on your brain, body and daily life. A wealth of complex and difficult emotions and experiences result from living with chronic health conditions, which are often invisible to and misunderstood by those around you. Psychological support with me can help you make more sense of these issues and focus on what really matters to you as you move forward with your life.”

Dr Anne Jacobs is a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist with specialist expertise in the assessment and treatment of individuals living with complex physical and psychological health conditions. Her clinical background spans Neuropsychology, specialist Chronic Pain services, and specialist Fatigue services (supporting people with ME/CFS and Long Covid). She has extensive neuropsychological expertise, supporting individuals experiencing cognitive difficulties, including brain fog, issues with memory, and concentration problems.

In addition to her specialist work in physical health, Dr Jacobs has considerable experience working with complex mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related presentation. Her years of experience allow her to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between physical health and emotional wellbeing. Dr Jacobs adopts a compassionate, evidence-based approach, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

Clients know her as someone who is immediately approachable and genuine, a psychologist with warmth and compassion, who creates a sense of safety that lets people relax and feel understood. She is passionate about helping people navigate the challenges that arise when physical health affects mental wellbeing, enabling clients to build resilience, improve quality of life, and achieve meaningful personal goals.
